Highly Recommend

We recently held my parents’ 50th Wedding Anniversary party at the Granger Homestead. We had approximately 25 guests & everyone had positive feedback on the location we’d chosen.
The staff (Colleen & Vicky) were wonderful! They were available if we needed them, but didn’t hover & let our guests enjoy themselves. They gave shortened tours of the Homestead and carriage houses as our guests requested them.
I kept the decorations simple so as to not detract from the beauty of the homestead itself. We had appetizers & desserts catered so there was one table and one high boy, plus additional chairs, in each of the three rooms for our guests to eat at, or just sit and chat. It was a very relaxed atmosphere during the whole party & our guests really enjoyed themselves.
I would highly recommend this venue!

Granger - A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood!

My daughter recently held her wedding reception at Granger after riding in the horse-drawn carriage from the marriage at St. John's down the street. I cannot say enough good about the Granger staff, especially Collen, who was not only flexible, but responded promptly too all my questions over the 6 months prior to the celebration. She also worked very well with my wedding planner. The reception in the tent in the side yard was perfect, and we had the grounds for carriage rides and lawn games. We made use of the beautiful side porch when introducing the wedding party, and the sunset in front provided a lovely background for a photo of the newlyweds. The guests loved wandering through the beautiful mansion, and, also, the neighborhood as there made their way from church to reception. Many guests stayed in neighboring Bed & Breakfasts and Airbnb's. A reception at Granger was a wonderful way to showcase the City of Canandaigua, where we live!

Everything was perfect! We celebrated my grandmother's 100th birthday with about 75 guests at the Granger Homestead. The Home was the perfect place with the beautiful Chandeliers and the grand formal (but comfortable) setting.
The guests loved the Home and raved about the party.
Colleen was wonderful to work with. She was very helpful with suggesting the best table set up and places for the bar. I was hesitant to place the bar in the far room and Colleen was right. The guests will find the bar wherever you place it! It actually worked well in that room. There was plenty of room to move about and the bartender could easily get extra supplies from the back room as needed. Colleen was very patient with me as I tried to rearrange the set up even the day before the event! Colleen personally grabbed extra tables and assisted with all the extras as needed. She was there during the event and quickly responded to our extra needs.
We used the Home's china. It was beautiful. The silverware was elegant.
Grandma loved the event. Thank you to Granger Homestead and staff!
